die.

I closed my eyes and prepared myself to take my last breath, but before that could happen, everything had suddenly stopped. Was I dead? Was I in heaven? Was I in hell?

“A-Anya?” Tiago broke the silence. It was enough for me to turn my head, and I could not believe my eyes. Anya’s body was covered in blood.

I ran over to Anya’s side and turned to look at the same man who had been all up in my business and interrupted me earlier in the hallway.
